Knuckle-deep

These garnishes are anything from fruit to a spice or herb, and because most of them are perishable food, they need to be treated as such to ensure the safety and satisfaction of the customer," the organization said.

In the video, Dunn is seen working with her back turned away from the bar. As she turned around, she saw a woman off-camera eating the cherries used for other customers' drinks straight out of the container.

Dunn said she noticed there were cherries that appeared in the woman's drink that were not there before. Because she didn't see the woman take the cherries, Dunn said she couldn't say anything about it.

"Sure enough, I turned around...she had her hand knuckle-deep in my cherries," she said. "Not only that, she wasn't scooping them and putting them in her drink. She was scooping them up to her mouth and then putting her hands back in."

"Unfortunately, this is somewhat of a regular occurrence," Dunn said. "From something as small as straws, which I don't necessarily think is that big a deal, to cherries, to bar tools and glassware." Guests consistently have a mindset that as long as they are paying customers they are entitled to anything they want."

While Dunn had to throw the jar of cherries away, she said the bar replaces anything that is damaged. However, she said she knows of some establishments that would take it out of employees' paychecks.
